Declaring neighbour disputes.

What actually counts as a neighbour dispute?
We live on the corner of a street and the property that backs onto us has no garden, subsequently they leave their bins at their back/side door which is virtually on the pavement (and on level with the front of our house)
The lads who live there are mostly Eastern European and due to the fact that there are quite a few of them sharing the property their rubbish accumilates quite quickly...we originally contacted the council to explain that some of the bags were splitting and that food was spilling onto the pavement, we asked them to give the lads a bigger wheelie bin and a brown bin for re-cycling.
They moved the rubbish and gave them bigger bins.
All was well for a couple of months then the boys decided to have a clear out and left all sorts of stuff out there...we contacted the council again to ask them to move it which they did!
We have never sent or received any letters and the only reason we mentioned it in the first place was because we were selling our house and it looked so unsightly!!...the lads are okay and there are no problems between us but now I'm concerned that our request for them to have bigger bins and remove the rubbish will come back to bite us on the !!!!!
What do you reckon??

You should seek clarification from your own solicitor but the SPIF asks:
"3.1 Have you either sent or received any letters or notices which affect your property or the neighbouring property in any way (for example, from or to neighbours, the council or a government department)?
no / yes / copy enclosed / to follow / lost
3.2 Have you had any negotiations or discussions with any neighbour or any local or other authority which affect the property in any way?
(delete as applicable) no/ yes (please give details)"
IMO your answer to 3.2 would have to be " yes"0 -
I reckon you were helping them, not 'disputing' (arguing) with them. You can spin it to show this is the case,.... they are Eastern European, they do not know 'they system' whereas you do so you helped them out in terms of getting rid of their rubbish.
Simple! (I should be a politician).0 -
Think very hard before you answer this question. Are you more than incredibly irritated by these neighbours or are you just an obsessively tidy racist fuss pot?After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?0 -
Or "no". Is it because their are affecting the property or because you are offended by the way they invade your personal space?You should seek clarification from your own solicitor but the SPIF asks:

Ha ha ha I really couldn't have given a damn about it before we put the house on the market but used ear buds were never going to endear the viewers were they?0

I can't see how that would be a dispute. That's just every day life!
Lord, if you had to declare every discussion you had regarding your property with neighbours you could quickly have a very long list. Why, only yesterday I was discussing my neighbour's gas fire over the hedge - do I have to declare that?? People opposite me asked for planning permission for a new garage, I wrote to the council saying I thought it was an good idea and a nice design. Would I have to attach a copy of the letter if I sold my house? Surely not!0 -
Nope, dont declare anything. The boys could move on before the house is sold. And its sorted now anyway isnt it?0
